The new Atomic Vantage X 83 CTI is the widest ski in our lightweight Vantage X series, offering the perfect blend of piste power and all-mountain agility. Successor to the popular Nomad Crimson Ti, this is a great system ski for all-mountain skiers who like to spend most of the time on piste and a bit off the side. To create that versatility we’ve taken our lighter, stronger Vantage construction, including Carbon Tank Mesh, and given it a sportier shape and thinner waist ideal for carving sharp turns on harder snow. It comes with our extra-full Firewall, Power Woodcore and Titanium Backbone 2.0 for solid edge grip. We’ve also added a ton of new tech like the Exo Profile – a radical 3D profile that cuts swing weight and adds rigidity. This top model comes with Warden 13 MNC DT system bindings.

BEST ANSWER:I'm also 5'10", 220# and I bought the Vantge X 83 CTI in 175. I like skiing fast and these make great short and long turns. Old skis were 183 gs skis. I was hoping these would would have enough power/ snap out of the turns and they didn't disappoint. I love them. The shorter length is light, easy to maneuver, and fun in the bumps. Lightweight and powerful, good in the crud. Can't ski too fast on them, they love speed and have great edge hold.
